The permanent fix

It’s very useful to use RADIUS for authentication. This post is aimed at providing the quick and dirty details to make it happen on the HP A-series and E-series equipment.

Important note: Be sure to set a local manager account on all switches before enabling RADIUS. If you do not set a local manager account and RADIUS is not reachable, then you will not be able to manager your gear.

A-Series

Tested on: 5920 & 5820

The important thing to note here is that there are no attributes currently available that will grant you a specific level of rights. Use RADIUS to controll access, then use the super command to control the access level.
